Epsilon Skin Hydration Measurement Systems

Epsilon™ Model E100 Contact Imaging System

The Epsilon™ integrated technology provides both image and hydration data simultaneously (suitable for both In-vivo + In-vitro measurements). It differs from similar devices in its linear and calibrated response, where every pixel in the image provides a reproducible measurement that can be interpreted in terms of hydration. Equipped with 76800 sensors the Epsilon™ can measure SC hydration with greater accuracy and flexibility than conventional single-sensor probes. More …
